I think Wordpress has one, & that is one of the things I miss. Otherwise, maybe it's more often what you are used to, & therefore more comfortable with. Blogger also doesnt have 3 column ready options & I am terrified of losing my blog if I play around too much. Done it once, & almost passed out!! But I like blogger;in time would look forward to what you are talking about-Profy. :0) I’m good with Blogger, though i think a couple of features like a calendar with a planner should be included.

Profy takes simplicity from Blogger, adds more flexibility and better options for customization and it actually allows bloggers to monetize their blogs by displaying ads from any advertising networks of their choice (as we have no limitations for that). We built Profy to actually make blogging more flexible and more comprehensive a process than it currently is and to help bloggers avoid as much hassle as possible and actually focus on creative side of blogging. I'd really love to have you give Profy a test run and maybe share it with BurstBlog publishers here - and hopefully one day I will see many Profy blogs among BlogBurst publishers as well.

I blog on all of the different platforms and I like Blogger the best because it's so quick and easy, I also really love TypePad (it's cheap but not free), it has a lot to offer. Blogger and TypePad are great for those bloggers who aren't that technically inclined. :) Great post!

Also true that Wordpress is easy to use (though Blogger is a little simpler). Good points, Nick — you do lose a lot when you switch platforms, so best to pick one and stick with it.

Wordpress isn't complicated to use at all, and you don't want to be switching back and forth between platforms becuase then your permalink structure will change, you'll lose all your backlinks, and all the growth you've made will then end up down teh tubes, because you'll be starting over. You will lose your pagerank if you switch, and you will lose your position in the SERPS. Wordpress isn't hard to use at all. All you need to know how to do to make it work is get into your admin area, click on write, type your post, and click publish... i hope no one will end up misguided by this post.
